King Dunlap

Imagine being able to purchase a brand new BMW 5 series sedan for the price of a 10-year-old used Honda Civic.

That's how NFL teams must view former LSU offensive lineman La'el Collins, a projected first-round pick who wasn't selected in last weekend's NFL draft because of the cloudy circumstances surrounding his pregnant ex-girlfriend's murder on April 24.

But the recent discovery that Collins wasn't in town the day Brittany Mills was murdered, and ESPN's recent reports that claim Collins passes a polygraph test, and isn't the father of her son, who died last Friday, has apparently cleared Collins' name.
